I don't wish injury on anyone......well mostly anyone, but Gronk may again not last the season. This is the second time Gronk will have surgery on his back, the first time he missed the 2009 season with the Arizona Wildcats. His forearm break in November was apparently quite bad, requiring 4 surgeries. Football is a tough game.

They claimed Jake Ballard off of waivers from the Giants in June 2012. They must have thought a lot of him, because he was coming off an ACL tear and placed on injured reserve in the off-season by the Giants. NFL rules allowed another NFL team to claim him, but he spent the entire 2012 regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
